How do you tell the difference between Vietnamese and Cambodian pork ? Do you think that anyone selling pork will admit that it's Vietnamese if no one wants to buy it ? Also, it is reported here that there has been plenty of Vietnamese pork contaminated with salmonella since 2014.

However, Cambodian pigs are presumed to be healthy since they are being closely monitored by the Agricultural Ministry's Department of Animal Health ???

Warning on Vietnamese pork
-The public has been warned not to eat pork from Vietnam after an outbreak of a serious disease in pig farms across the border.
The Agriculture Ministry’s department of animal health and production is enforcing additional precautionary measures to ensure contaminated pork from Vietnam does not make its way into Cambodia.

Sen Sovann, the department’s director-general, said additional inspections will be conducted along the border as well as at local pig farms to prevent salmonella-infected pork from being imported into Cambodia after reports emerged last week that Vietnam was culling infected pigs.

“For us in Cambodia, this outbreak has yet to happen because I have assigned my officials and provincial officials since Saturday to intervene to monitor the symptoms,” he said.

“And also, we have to intervene because we are afraid that Vietnam is running out of measures and may export those products to us.

“In Vietnam, they have taken action to curb the bacteria known as salmonella which usually is found in pigs. This kind of bacteria creates high levels of endotoxin and laboratory tests found high levels of endotoxins in the pigs there, so Vietnam destroyed those animals,” he added.

According to Vietnamese news outlet Viet Nam News, a recent study revealed that 44 percent of pork sampled from 2014 to 2015 in the northern Hung Yen province was found to have been infected with salmonella.
The study also found that those who consumed the contaminated pork had an 18 percent probability of becoming ill as a result.
